Farmington River Area Weather

9/29 & 10/20 classes are now FULL, but we have a 3rd one scheduled for Sunday October 21st 9am-2pm that still has openings.

George Daniel is one of the most sought-after fly fishermen in the United States. He is best known for his expert nymphing skills and books he has written. Hot off the press is his new book "Nymph Fishing: New Angles, Tactics, and Techniques", and it's a very good one, covering what he has learned in the past 6 years since he wrote "Dynamic Nymphing". He will
conduct a 5 hour workshop for us (partly classroom, partly on the water) on how to be a more effective
nympher- George is always experimenting & learning, so his classes evolve every year and he will cover some of the subtle nuances that separate better nymphers from average ones.

G.D. is a guide/writer/presenter nowadays, and prior to that he managed a
TCO Fly Shop in State College, PA. As a teenager in central PA he was
mentored by the likes of Joe Humphreys & George Harvey, and honed
his skills after that as a member of Fly Fishing Team USA, competing in
competitions around the world against some of the best international
trout anglers. That ups your learning curve dramatically. He wrote the ultimate book on the subject, "Dynamic
Nymphing", it has been a steady best seller for us, as well as his semi-recent "Strip-Set"
book on streamer fishing.
There are few who combine his knowledge of fly fishing & ability to
teach the subject. Plus he's just a super nice guy.
